describe-automation-step-executions is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument.
When using --outputtext and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: StepExecutions

A boolean that indicates whether to list step executions in reverse order by start time. The default value is false.

--cli-input-json (string)
Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command's output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command's output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command's output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--generate-cli-skeleton (string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

A user-specified list of parameters to override when executing a step.

key -> (string)

value -> (list)

(string)

IsEnd -> (boolean)

The flag which can be used to end automation no matter whether the step succeeds or fails.

NextStep -> (string)

The next step after the step succeeds.

IsCritical -> (boolean)

The flag which can be used to help decide whether the failure of current step leads to the Automation failure.

ValidNextSteps -> (list)

Strategies used when step fails, we support Continue and Abort. Abort will fail the automation when the step fails. Continue will ignore the failure of current step and allow automation to execute the next step. With conditional branching, we add step:stepName to support the automation to go to another specific step.

(string)

Targets -> (list)

The targets for the step execution.

(structure)

An array of search criteria that targets instances using a Key,Value combination that you specify. Targets is required if you don't provide one or more instance IDs in the call.

Key -> (string)

User-defined criteria for sending commands that target instances that meet the criteria. Key can be tag:Amazon EC2 tagor InstanceIds. For more information about how to send commands that target instances using Key,Value parameters, see Targeting Multiple Instances in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide .

Values -> (list)

User-defined criteria that maps to Key. For example, if you specified tag:ServerRole, you could specify value:WebServer to execute a command on instances that include Amazon EC2 tags of ServerRole,WebServer. For more information about how to send commands that target instances using Key,Value parameters, see Sending Commands to a Fleet in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide .

(string)

TargetLocation -> (structure)

The combination of AWS Regions and accounts targeted by the current Automation execution.

Accounts -> (list)

The AWS accounts targeted by the current Automation execution.

(string)

Regions -> (list)

The AWS Regions targeted by the current Automation execution.

(string)

TargetLocationMaxConcurrency -> (string)

The maxium number of AWS accounts and AWS regions allowed to run the Automation concurrently

TargetLocationMaxErrors -> (string)

The maxium number of errors allowed before the system stops queueing additional Automation executions for the currently executing Automation.

ExecutionRoleName -> (string)

The Automation execution role used by the currently executing Automation.

NextToken -> (string)

The token to use when requesting the next set of items. If there are no additional items to return, the string is empty.
